Starship Asterisk*

This APOD is a favorite because the instant I saw it, I was thrown into a temporary manic state. It was so unexpected and entertaining. I didn’t know such a thing existed. It reminded me of the depth of APOD and its Discussion threads… what with all the people’s work that's contained within its web corridors. I think a BWE would make a good tool for digging through the gobs of information and SA* peopleisms!

There are soooo many beautiful apods that I think it's very hard to tell a favorite one. Perhaps we should ask what's the worst apod

One recent Apod I love is this one: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120429.html

Perhaps my worst Apod should be this one: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap950616.html
But as it is the first Apod, this also could be a favorite one!

This APOD seems to be one of the worst among many people.

APOD is a recent discovery to me as well as Starship Asterisk. This is the first time I have seen this photo and I agree that it is magnificent. The more I learn about the universe the more astounded I become. Who knows what the next discoveries will be?

photos are great

I think that today's picture is beautiful as well http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap121120.html

by far my favorite

Marvellous pictures

You ever see a photo and you just love it? You don't know why and can't explain it? Well this apod does it to me.

it just fills me with a sense of wonder at how vast things actually are. I also love the detail on the dust lanes of the galaxy. simply amazing

You might enjoy this photo. Skydiving next to a rocket launch. http://www.vandenberg.af.mil/shared/med ... 9T-001.JPG

im not going to post it as my favourite now, even though it is haha. so thaks geckzilla. but surely NASA knew nothing of this?

Someone at NASA did, according to the Goddard Twitter feed. I learned about the article at Bad Astronomy.

what makes it more special is it was taken on my birthday, apart from the 2007 bit of course.

This one does it for me:

Higher res version now on Wikipedia:

I just simply love this http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130913.html ....amazing

Mars Then And Now is my all time favorite one!

I don't know how to choose either;

although it is very close to home, the Iceland volcano cloud and lightning has to rank as one of the most memorable for me...

at the opposite end of the scale, the Hubble Deep field view gets me thinking...
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap121014.html

and my last pick of today, the Einstein rings plus galaxies plus (dark matter) plus supernova - wow! a real bonanza...

si tuviera que elegir sólo una...

How about "pretty much all of them" ?

i have to say, my favorite has to be this one: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap050605.html this shows everything from the north american to the lagoon nebula. so far i see: the north american, gamma cygni, the veil, the eagle, omega, triffid, and the lagoon; im sure there are a few others im missing, anyone care to elaborate?
